Presumably they scheduled this one at the last one back in June. Apparently we get dragged into a meeting of all regional councils with waters flowing into the Atlantic because the Suwannee-Satilla RWPC includes much of the Satilla and St Marys Rivers, even though most of the SSRWPC territory is in our Upper Suwannee watershed. A tiny bit of our Little River Watershed is in Wilcox County, which is in the Altamaha RWPC. This time they provided a map.
